Kenneth Gartman to Return to Don't Tell Mama with 'A BALLSY CHRISTMAS' Open Mic, 12/16

By:

Kenneth Gartman returns to Don't Tell Mama on Monday, December 16th to host his 5th Annual Holiday Open Mic - A BALLSY CHRISTMAS WITH KENNETH.

This 90 minute holiday open mic aspires to be one of the funniest and possibly most offensive shows of the holiday season featuring some of Cabaret and Broadway's great talents. Only up-tempo, funny and/or ballsy material allowed, plus there will be some festive holiday sing-alongs. In addition to hosting, Gartman will be tickling the ivories. Joining him on drums will be Matt VanderEnde and John Miller on bass.

The show is set for Monday, December 16th @ 9:15 pm at Don't Tell Mama, 343 West 46th Street, NYC 10036. NO Cover +2 drink minimum (cash only). Donations will be accepted as we pass the Santa hat. Reservations: 212-757-0788 (after 4 pm) or online at www.donttellmamanyc.com.
